Chapter 28

It was as if life were out of the eyes of those present while they could only watch as their own attacks were directed towards them in such a spooky way

They lamented greatly because in reality those who attacked together were only the Fallen Angels and all had been regrouped by Baraqiel's previous order

They could only blame themselves for being all together which made their joint attacks go to all of them in such a terrifying way that not one of them had any hope of being alive.

Knock Knock!

It was at that moment that a fairly soft sound was present, the sound was as if something sharp hit the ground twice was quite imperceptible to some who were immersed in fear of attacks that were heading at a terrifying speed towards them

Some closed their eyes while others managed to barely move and began to run or fly but everyone knew, no matter how much they ran or flew they could not escape the great explosion that the attacks they would cause

And it turned out to be like this ...

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

...

Countless sounds of explosions in a row made an appearance while the ground shook fiercely as if an earthquake was having its birth in the entire environment because each attack contained the element [Light] everything was wrapped in an intense white light that covered everyone's eyes preventing properly looking at what was happening

By the time all the explosions finished the light began to dim and each person could barely observe what happened

"...Ah?!"

A Devil who was somewhat further away was not so affected by the intense light, instead, he looked carefully at the Fallen Angels to be surprised.

He was not the only one and more people were very surprised, at that time the Fallen Angels realized what was happening

"Aren't we dead? ..."

"Do we live? How ?!"

"Ice? Did anyone protect us?"

"This ... It's ice, only the Yellow Satan could cause this!"

"Eh? Lucifuge-Sama saved us?"

At that time almost half of the Fallen Angels turned to look at Grayfia thanking him for saving them but at that moment they heard something that greatly confused them

"... I have not done anything, just thank the true person who saved you" Grayfia replied calmly but inside there was something amazing

It was because right in front of all the Fallen Angels there was a huge wall made of ice so resistant that even all the attacks combined only created some small gaps

When everyone was so confused in the situation a Fallen Angel at the end noticed the presence of someone who was standing on the high wall of ice while looking down

Or precisely rather that person was looking towards Madara

He was a short person who wore armor that seemed to be quite resistant

His armor was blue and for some strange reason he had an oven in the back that emits steam at this moment confusing everyone present

Also because the armor of this person extends throughout his body to the lower half of his face, covering his half of the lower face only they could see his gray eyes hidden between a red Kasa (conical straw hat) that it seems to be composed of the same metal as its armor

In addition to this strange person, there was a sword embedded beside him in the ice

It was a typical western sword with a length of ninety centimeters and a width of twelve centimeters plus it has very old engravings written on its silver blade that nobody could understand

This sword released a slight sacred aura but because it seemed so normal and they could barely feel any of it they only thought it was a 'Sacred Gear' and kept looking towards that person who had appeared

When everyone was very confused with the situation, that person spoke slowly showing a voice ... Childish?

"What do you think you are doing? ... Madara"

Each person was silent, including Arthur, who wanted to take Madara as a prisoner, he currently stared at the scene to discover what kind of relationship these two people had.

Only by the voice of this new person who appeared did they realize that it was a child, something that each one had an ominous feeling in their bodies

Was anyone experimenting with children and turning them into monsters? Literally, for everyone present, Madara was a monster whose age did not limit him because despite being a child he had quite impressive strength

"What do you think I do? I am fulfilling my goal, or is it that your myopia does not see my actions correctly?" While answering 'Madara' he casually sat on a roof while his Gunbai kept him by his side

Although his expression was full of openings but nobody wanted to attack him at least not for now, they wanted to know how things would develop at this time

"Please! Your dream? Even if I get myopia, I can clearly see that your actions only attract massacre to this world ..."

"Do not come with meticulousness, you yourself know, Kusanagi !, the world only respects the strong and only those with power can achieve their goals ... Maybe you do not understand but it is my duty to do so ... Even if it's not for me, it's for her that I'm going to do it! "

'Madara' he got up while taking his Gunbai hard this talk was destined to become a battle which would be inevitable

And even the person named Kusanagi knew that, he took his sword and swung it, causing a slight wave of the wind and positioned himself for his incoming battle.

"In our world, those who break the rules are considered slags, but those who abandon and go against their friends can be considered worse than scum ... I guess I'm about to become the one who was between them ..."

At the beginning of his words, it was a simple whisper that also managed to be heard by all who gave an impression to those present that these two people were previously friends or that seemed to be

It was at that moment that the person named Kusanagi jumped from the ice wall while he was falling at a fairly high speed but immediately with his right foot he touched the walls made of ice superficially only so that his body shot out like an arrow towards Madara

Everyone witnessed as Madara also threw himself at his enemy ignoring everyone as if they did not exist in the first place

When they both hit each other, they immediately hit a fierce fight which everyone could see as Kusanagi's sword moved swiftly trying to cut to Madara who dodged and used her Gunbai to direct some attacks

Their speeds were very similar to the point where they even seemed to know their own movements, fist against fist, kick against kick and matched martial skills and even the use of Madara's Gunbai was perfect blocking every attack of Kusanagi

Even so, Kusanagi didn't fall behind either because his sword skills were totally admirable

It was at that moment that everyone realized the situation completely ...

"You have to help him ..."

"Isn't he an enemy?"

"Do you think that if it were I would have protected the Fallen Angels before? The real enemy is Madara!"

Those who previously had enmity against Madara quickly joined Fallen Angels and Exorcists began to join the battle giving a bad moment to 'Madara'

It was at that moment that a smile was hidden under the mask of 'Madara' who tightly squeezed the handle of his Gunbai before shaking it fiercely towards his incoming enemies

"Fan Blast!"

Immediately upon finishing his prayer along with the movement of his Gunbai a powerful gust of wind was present which managed to expel most of his enemies from the surroundings sending them to fly in several directions

But it was also at that moment that Kusanagi jumped back and stuck his sword on the ground before joining his hands touching his fingers to each other in front of his chest and speaking quietly

"Weissschnabel!"

The air began to stir abruptly until small droplets of water instantly became present, turning into icicles of ice which shot out towards Madara with the intention of taking his life

But Madara crossed her fingers forming a T and immediately a Clone appeared which took 'Madara' by him arm throwing it towards the sky managing to dodge the attack while the Clone disappeared among the icicles

They both stared at each other ready to launch against each other again but suddenly felt three presences which made an appearance

"Do you think it's good if we join together too? After all, noticing the death of my own allies it is completely understandable that I also participate." Arthur spoke slowly as Caliburn in his right hand ready to be included in the battle.

Instead, Grayfia stood behind 'Madara', she was looking at everything with her stoic expression but she was expelling enough of her aura causing slight pressure on the environment

It was clear that now the true powerful wanted to get involved and this situation was dangerous in many ways, it was at that moment that Madara raised her hands as if giving up

"I give up"

...Than?

Yes, exactly everyone got confused exactly they didn't expect this person to suddenly give up so easily it was ... Rare

"May I know why you decided to give up so abruptly?" Grayfia who was behind Madara asked with some intrigue present in her voice

But Madara without turning around just shrugged before speaking

"I said that I give up because I am currently surrounded, without a doubt I will lose in this battle and it is something I would not want ..."

Everyone felt it was reasonable but while everyone was thinking about it, they suddenly saw Madara reach out and point her hand at Arthur

His action confused everyone but Shura who had been present all this time quickly realized the situation

"Watch out!"

"Steal !!"

But even if she screamed it wasn't on time, before Arthur could realize the situation Madara had already said the words

Steal!

A powerful invisible force assaulted Arthur who could not even understand what happened, it was at that moment that Caliburn appeared in Madara's hands and without hesitating he threw it at Baraqiel with force firing it as if it were a spear

Kusanagi immediately stretched his hand forward ready to fire a bullet of condensed ice at Madara but immediately noticed how Madara made a gesture of looking at Baraqiel as he did his gaze widened before smiling under his mask and running towards the direction of Baraqiel

"¿? !!"

Everyone was confused by the actions of Kusanagi but soon stopped paying attention because they noticed as Madara moved him body dodging a Grayfia

Due to the position, they were currently in, Grayfia's attack ended by chance heading towards Arthur, who had to hurry to dodge it quickly.

Because of that action involuntarily everyone turned their eyes towards Arthur only that when they looked back at Madara he was no longer anywhere causing surprise at all

PA!

At that moment everyone heard a sound of a dry blow and looked away at Kusanagi who was holding the Caliburn in his hands while there was a Fallen Angel in his arms

It was a woman who almost died being pierced by Caliburn after Baraqiel could barely dodge

"Could you give it back to me?" Arthur dusted off his clothes as he approached Kusanagi

Although today was a rather strange day in which a variant had appeared managing to kill many allies just as soon, as this new variant called 'Kusanagi' had also appeared

Kusanagi shrugged as he threw the Caliburn at Arthur without giving it any importance

"It belongs to you anyway." Turning away from Arthur, he turned to look at the woman in his arms. "Are you all right?"

"... Y-yes! ... Can you download me now?" The woman acted somewhat embarrassed but it was by everyone's eyes yet she was grateful to be saved in time

Kusanagi nodded and then placed her on the floor while watching everyone around him, if he knew this would happen but simply acted calmly while taking his sword which was previously embedded in the ground

"I suggest you prepare, do not believe that this is all the power of Madara and even if you do not, believe me, I could tell you that he is very dangerous ... He is only playing with all of you until now"

"How do you know?" Arthur approached while saving his Caliburn the middle felt that this person was not an enemy at least they could have a talk normally without resorting to battle

"As you may have noticed we were 'teammates', his name is Madara Uchiha, a descendant of an Ancient Clan and he has not fully demonstrated all his abilities, they can decide to believe me or not, everything remains in their hands ..."

No matter what else he started walking while all those who were on his way opened space is not because of fear but because they had no reason to start a battle knowing that everyone was tired

But Baraqiel came forward and crossed the path of Kusanagi

"Can I know why you saved my allies?"

"Just take it as a test of friendship between us, my enemy is none of you but only Madara ... I was sent only to correct the mistake we made ourselves"

Correct a mistake ...

Everyone was interested but Baraqiel didn't believe much in those words

"Your words may very well be true or maybe you just try to deceive us, what doesn't make us think that you and Madara are playing this theater just to destroy us from the inside?"

"That is a very good way to think about it, I must say that I admire your intelligence but if I wanted to kill you I would do it right here and now ... That only if Mr. Paladin and Mrs. Devil did not get in my way"

With the words of Kusanagi, some remained silent while others whispered among them the words were quite acceptable because the strength shown by Madara and Kusanagi far exceeded Baraqiel

He was also openly hinting that Arthur and Grayfia who were present would be the only ones able to stop him, no one knew if it was a lie or not but they didn't want to discover it either

"Enough Baraqiel ... It's enough for now, let's say I believe in your words and you're trying to form a friendship with us ... But exactly why?"

"That is because I do not want to see deaths without any need, spilling the blood of those innocent would not be correct and you who have no information about the Uchiha Clan will only end up dying in your hands ..."

"Are you saying we are weak to fight them?" Grayfia highlighted those words as she approached

But Kusanagi shook his head "No, or rather not everyone is like you Mrs. Devil who has an unfathomable force ... Those who are below their strength could even become cannon fodder ... Or is that what do you want? "

No one said anything but only from Grayfia's gaze could they notice that she was thinking completely about Kusanagi's words

"For now I should retire from this place, tell the new visitors about all this"

"Visitors?"

At that moment everyone felt weird to hear those words but suddenly felt powerful presences before they raised their faces watching people descend radiating presences full of holiness

"E-Wait ... Where is he?" Arthur suddenly remembered something and when he looked where Kusanagi should be, he realized that he mysteriously disappeared

Grayfia shook his head as she sighed "He left about five seconds ago, apparently ... He is another user of some [Space-Time] skill ... This new information must be recorded now"

While they were both thinking about it, Baraqiel frowned before shaking his head.

"He's just a child, isn't he? ... Who the hell would believe in him completely?" He moved away from the place while he waited for the Angels to descend so he could have a talk between them.

Instead, the woman who had been rescued was looking at a strange tattoo that had appeared when Kusanagi touched her on her abdomen before

"...What is this?"
